In this classic, groundbreaking book, world-renowned animal scientist Temple Grandin puts forward a paradigm-shifting case for animal intelligence. Merging decades of expertise with her keen perceptive powers, which she credits to her autism, Grandin is our faithful guide to the world of animals-exploring their pain, fear, aggression, love, communication, and, yes, even genius. Grandin plumbs the depts of the animal psyche, usurping outdated ideas about consciousness, language, and emotion. A true cornerstone of animal science, Animals in Translation is a moving and incisive tribute to intelligence in all its forms.
